I did not use the basil and thought they turned out wonderfully. My carrots cooked to the degree I perfer and the frozen peas added any additional liquid that might have been needed to not dry out. I my opinion the fresh ground salt and pepper at the end is best and I like to add a small bit of minced garlic with butter and olive oil too. This is a fast tasty dish.

This side dish is one of my favorites...easy, pretty, and delicious. If you have good knife skills, the carrots only take a minute or so. Great recipe!

Do you have to add basil? It does not like my body. Is there something else I can sub. for it?

I made the recipe as a side for my garlic &amp; rosemary mashed potatoes and Wiener Schnitzel. It was such a simple side but it was delicious - my 4 year old could not get enough. I added a tad more butter, some dry parsley, freshly minced garlic and salt/pepper. The carrots and peas were tender and super sweet. Next time, I will add a tad of heavy/whipping cream to make the carrots/peas creamy. My husband made the comment that he never wants to eat frozen peas and carrots ever again - big difference in taste.

This version of peas and carrots was a nice surprise for someone that usually does not like them. I thought the recipe was super fresh and delicious. Will definitely be cooking again for my family. Patience is the key when having to dice carrots.

I diced the carrots, and they took a lot longer to cook than what is written in the recipe. When I served it before they were completely done (just ran out of time cooking the meal. I will opt for frozen peas and carrots in the future.

I used fresh carrots and made the recipe as stated. As written, it became dry and bland so I added a tablespoon of sherry but that didn't hep at all. It was a nice concept with fresh carrots but I think packaged frozen peas and carrots would have been superior. This recipe was a dud!

This was delicious. Who knew the basil would pair so well with the peas and carrots?! Will definitely be a staple side in our house.

Loved these. I am always on the lookout for a new veggie recipe for my family and these were really tasty. Added dried basil and it added a nice touch.

Yes! Try some fresh or dried thyme. It's a bit milder and is great with fresh veggies. I didn't have basil, so I used some fresh thyme from my garden. Yummmm!
